~550MB on one server, ~650MB on the other, using the default metrics setup. The value fluctuates due to machines getting moved between clusters, and old rrds not being deleted. Have approached 1GB in those situations, usually due to configuration errors. ;) > Since you have 2 gmetad servers, do > you have an additional gmetad server to aggregate the data from the > federated servers? > Not currently but I've been considering a setup like that for including some new machines we're getting (to deal with a firewall). Due to the way the departments here are set up, the clusters divide pretty cleanly and there was no need to aggregate the information. It's probably good that it is so.. a number of our users would start complaining if "someone else's" stats started appearing on "their" web page. > It looks like rrdtool 1.3 is getting closer to being released. > I am looking forward to it too. Running out of the ram disk has never sat well with me, I dislike the threat of losing any amount of data if there's a crash. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
